OPEN YOUR EYES

In almost no way do I find this album good, but I do find that this was an improvement over its predecessor, 'Talk'. Anderson's lyrics and vocals seem better and true to himself, and the instrumentation is about the same. No song stands out, though, which is why it gets a two-star rating from me. Even the Epic is boring! 3/4 of it is just sound. (Leave that to the Tangerine Dream and The Residents!) They really didn't try for any of this, but paradoxically, they did try even less for 'Talk'. Well, not every band is doozy-free. Yes gets a pass in my book since they are so prolific. So yes, this is for fans and collectors only. Prog on.
